Hello,

Last Thrusday (7/31) we had a speach about the Sun Technologies and OpenSolaris, integrated with the NECTI, a students company of computer science at UFPB. We gave some CD's of Solaris Express and an introdutory book about how to use OpenSolaris.

Hi All,

Last Thrusday (April 19th) we had the PBJUG Tech Days, an event from our JUG in association with the Sun Tech Days. It had been about 300 people. We had some local speakers from PBJUG and an International Speaker, Tim Boudreau, who talked about Netbeans features. We did an exposition of two Sun Workstation (Ultra 20) showing the Solaris 10 OS and some tools associated. So, it was really great! The people liked so much.

Sun announces the availability of the Mobile Services Architecture (MSA) for mobile phones and other handheld devices. Sun Java ME Product Marketing Group Manager John Muhlner states, "What we did with Java Technology for the Wireless Industry (JTWI) was make a compilation of a number of specs together to create a standard platform developer could count on being in handsets. MSA is the next generation. It supersedes JTWI with much more features and functionality than what we had … Java ME was severely fragmented for the longest time, and MSA will bring it some unity. These platform specs take the specific technologies and clarify or define certain options within the spec. It reduces fragmentation and makes for a more consistent application environment."
